This was amazing to see how the vultures lined up. There is a specific pecking order amongst them.

As the vultures landed, I noticed that they did not land, and stand, in a first come-first serve order. Although they formed a line, the vultures did indeed have a 'pecking order'. Daniel explained they knew where they were supposed to be in line, but how they determine that is a mystery. As close as they know, guides think that it is done in 'class' kind of system.
